CONCEPT

Poised and comforting.
Gently wrapping every
feeling
you wish to share.

2025 marks 60 years as a towel manufacturer, and 12 years since the launch of our own brand, Sodateru Towel. The more time you spend with our towel, the more deeply you’ll come to love it.
From Japan to the world, we share the joy of lasting warmth, everyday comfort, and a bond that grows softer—and stronger—with time.
Furoshiki is a traditional cloth still cherished in Japanese daily life. Rooted in Japanese craftsmanship, our wa/en collection offers not just quality towels, but the spirit of giving—beautifully wrapped in furoshiki.

Wrap thoughtfulness
in the traditional Japanese
art of giving.

Because wa/en is deeply rooted in Japan, we wanted to offer not just towels, but a full cultural experience of Japanese gift-giving.
We chose the furoshiki—a traditional wrapping that has long conveyed gratitude and human connection with gentle care.
A way of life that honors all things with gratitude: this is the beauty and harmony we bring from Japan to you.

MATERIAL

Elegant Japanese hues,
inspired by the ukiyo-e color palette.

Since ancient times, the Japanese have intuitively embraced the subtle hues of nature and the changing seasons, weaving delicate color sensibilities into everyday life and tradition. Inspired by ukiyo-e—a prominent art form of the Edo period—we carefully selected three colors. As you use the towel day by day, its warmth will grow with you. Enjoy the harmony of this soft texture paired with the refined beauty of traditional Japanese colors.
